Mostly, the people who receive the books and let me in on their feelings about it, where they read it, how it affected their week and so on. But also many of my friends who told me to keep going when something difficult made it seem like it was impossible to continue. Fernanda was one of these friends, always introducing me to people as ‘Gemma with the c project’. Fernanda and I have similar taste in literature, and I have spent the last 4 days at her family home in Hermosillo, Mexico, where her childhood bedroom’s bookcase is almost the same as mine (although in four languages as Fernanda is fluent in Spanish, English, French and Italian). I felt this was the most beautiful thing, people all over the world finding and loving the same books and enrichening their minds in the same way. This is what we hope to do with sendb00ks, allow anybody with a phone, postbox and appetite for information to have the greatest education possible via literature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFernanda also helped me develop a way of running the project from wherever Charles and I go on our trip, giving me a reading list of Latin American writers. She recommended that as our trip would begin in Baja California we should read the small but perfectly formed novella The Pearl by John Steinbeck as it explores the history, geography, religion and feeling of a place and how it affects Kino, whom the story revolves around.

This can be found inside the book, along with the work of the monthly artist, hand made in each country. It has been so challenging and rewarding to write this and go over it with Fernanda who really understands Mexico. Fernanda has introduced us to local writers inspired by the Sonoran desert living in Hermosillo, a town that many believe to be a fictional town that Roberto Bolanõ created in his novel The Savage Detectives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am going on, but I would like to invite you all to sign up for April\/May to receive The Pearl by John Steinbeck, an 8 page long mini book\/journal by Charles Flamand and I, and the wonderful work of Fernanda.

A brilliant artist Lucia Vidales recommended that we send a book about the conquest of the Aztecs, The Broken Spear by Miguel Leon Portilla, a great poem about the origins of Mexican nationality and the defence of a culture and civilisation before the Spanish conquest. We at Sendb00ks urge you to source these books, study and love them, while we work to make more relationships with different publishers who can help us send them at a later date.

In one of her paintings, cowboys sit around a table with I love Dick by Chris Kraus. We came back to Maggie Nelson again and her writing on gender and identity.

Carson explores a host of misfits and outcasts as they attempt to come to terms with their world and grapple with how to become useful members of society by looking for, and struggling to find, human love wherever they can get it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/3665\/6704\/files\/0-2_480x480.jpg?v=1607196615\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sendb00ks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32725055733831,"sku":"2","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/3665\/6704\/products\/juliette.jpg?v=1607292888"},{"product_id":"pre-order-february-with-michella-bredahl","title":"Virginia Woolf's A Room of Ones Own with sleeve by Michella Bredahl","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSendb00ks February 2021 (Archive).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn February 2021\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMichella Bredahl chose Virginia Woolf's A Room of Ones Own. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe created a sleeve for the book with Michellas' Artwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eClick\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003ca title=\"here\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/michella_bredahl\/?hl=en\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto get to Michella Bredahl's\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Instagram.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWelcome to February at Sendb00ks!

Born in Denmark but currently living in Paris, Michella was educated at the Danish Photography School and The National Film School of Denmark and her latest film Chassé premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. She specialises in portraiture and auteur-driven documentary films that give her work an intimacy and an emotional accessibility that blends perfectly with Woolf’s preoccupation with sentiment and self-examination.

This month we are working with Michella to revisit the text from this perspective and explore how that ‘for some people who never had their own room, a room can also become a book, an object or something else’ that instills in us a feeling of freedom and the confidence to express our creativity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sendb00ks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32817931714631,"sku":"12","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/3665\/6704\/products\/ScreenShot2021-02-18at4.50.08PM.png?v=1613663551"},{"product_id":"march-with-berta-blanca-t-ivanow","title":"April with Berta Blanca T.

She creates beautiful organic sculptures with her hands, inspired by the abundance of nature that surrounds her at her beautiful studio in Teia, just outside Barcelona. Earlier this month we visited her here, just in time to see all the trees start to bloom, surrounded by rolling farmlands and a view of the sea where Berta took us through a few of her favourite books. The one that spoke to us the most and that we have chosen to send to you all this month is by the Japanese art critic and philosopher Yanagi Sōetsu. It is a book that explores the beauty of functional objects and the importance of tradition and work created without ownership and ego. This month, by blending the work of Berta and the writings of Yanagi, we hope we can remind each other of the importance in reconnecting with ourselves through our sense of touch, the  creative potential we can realise when we display patience, and the power of repetition: “It is that repetition that frees my hands from thought. And that freedom is the mother of all creation.” Details to sign up for this months package are now on our website, not one to miss out on, it will be full of postcards, interviews, and a little springtime surprise. ❤️","brand":"Sendb00ks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39294692458567,"sku":"200","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/3665\/6704\/products\/berta2020100.jpg?v=1617374877"},{"product_id":"pre-order-may-with-stephanie-lacava","title":"Thérèse And Isabelle by Violette Leduc with Stephanie LaCava","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSendb00ks May 2021 (Archive).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStephanie LaCava chose Violette Leduc's Thérèse And Isabelle.

The walls of white rooms were hung with green tapestries, spirals. A big window on the outside was filled with green trees. Weavings, pulled downwards, extended the thread.

She is passionate about artists like Louise Bourgeois and Marina Abramovic, listening to the radio or podcasts while weaving. Marie describes her practice as a necessary process of storytelling.

Presenting us with a rare and exceptional opportunity to witness fairness, beauty assists us in our attention to justice. The beautiful object renders fairness, an abstract concept, concrete by making it directly available to our sensory perceptions. With its direct appeal to the senses, beauty stops us, transfixes us, fills us with a “surfeit of aliveness.” In so doing, it takes the individual away from the center of his or her self-preoccupation and thus prompts a distribution of attention outward toward others and, ultimately, she contends, toward ethical fairness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAuthor: Elaine Scarry\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback 144 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780691089591\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sendb00ks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56259494117721,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/3665\/6704\/files\/OnBeautyScary.jpg?v=1759140360"},{"product_id":"things-fall-apart","title":"Things Fall Apart","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-short-description rte\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOkonkwo is the greatest warrior alive, famous throughout West Africa.

Lennox is unafraid to paint and excavate ancestral tales, unearthing horror chests which may have been hidden, those which cross psychological and physical boundaries to expose internal depths.
